The irony of this is that the person representing the agency that was supposed to provide and enact the care plan was so frustrated that she gave advice to Molly's foster mother. I am delighted that Ms McKenna-Keane is using the term "foster mother" because she was caring for her since the age of four months.

I am making a kind of aside here but we do not see them as integral to the care of the child in question. They are always living in the fear that the child could be taken from them at any point.
